Censorship is not the answer to fake news. Fake news is nothing new. The internet is just its latest platform. More importantly, the reason a person takes a gun into an establishment following reading fake news has more to do with him and his mental wellness than it does with a fake news website.

It is not the fault of the person that wrote the fake news. They were not telling people to take up arms or hurt other people. Instead, the person who took the gun should have paid more attention to know that the website was fake. He should be punished for causing a disturbance.
